Off time: 13:00 | Winning time: 3m 48.0s

Continuance^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley

11/4

Fair Flat winner who struck at the first time of asking over hurdles at Sedgefield in October. Pulled up in a Cheltenham Grade 2 since but much more realistic chance back at this level.

Form: 1P

Game Management²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| CD

11/1

Flat winner for Kevin Ryan who made a successful start over hurdles for new yard when seeing off 6 rivals over C&D last month. Has the potential for better.

Form: 1

Bust A Move⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

10/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this if taking to his new discipline.

Form:

Calanthe²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Watson

66/1

Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1m), finishing a creditable third at Kempton last month. Hurdle debut.

Form:

Flowering¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| D

8/1

Fair performer on level who made a winning yard/hurdle debut in 6-runner juvenile at Warwick (2m, good) in November. Pulled up in Newbury listed race since but should be competitive back in calmer waters.

Form: 1P

Hosaamm^p¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: A Keatley

10/11

Useful performer on Flat (stays 1½m) for Owen Burrows. New connections acquired him for 78,000 gns in October. Interesting hurdle newcomer under Brian Hughes.

Form:

Miaswell^t⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

40/1

Fair dual 1m Flat winner for David O'Meara. Will need to be quite useful to make a winning start over hurdles against this opposition.

Form:

Skinny Malinka⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N Wilson

33/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Ed Bethell. That level of Flat ability suggests he can make an impact over hurdles.

Form:

Sweet Soul Music^v²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 93

14/1

Only poor on the Flat. Similar standard on her first 2 outings over hurdles but different proposition with a visor added (retained) when 2¾ lengths second of 7 to Game Management over C&D last month.

Form: 452

Jailbird^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: T Collier

200/1

Modest Flat winner for Richard Bandey. Well-held fourth on her completed start in juvenile hurdles for current yard and looks up against it here.

Form: P4

Takes Time⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby

150/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for David Loughnane. Would be a surprise winner on hurdle debut.

Forecasts

Hosaamm (10/11), Continuance (11/4), Flowering (8/1), Bust A Move (10/1), Game Management (11/1), Sweet Soul Music (14/1), Skinny Malinka (33/1), Miaswell (40/1), Calanthe (66/1), Takes Time (150/1), Jailbird (200/1)

In a race with several possibilities the suggestion is HOSAAMM, who showed useful ability on the Flat and changed hands for 78,000 gns ahead of this switch to hurdles. Game Management did it nicely on his C&D hurdle debut and is second choice. Fellow hurdle winners Continuance and Flowering should find this easier than the Grade 2/listed events they contested last time out.
